Have you got a game coming out in 2025?

Have you thought about arranging a mock review?

I've added a page to my site that breaks down prices and packages, as well as some lovely testimonials from clients.

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

My Black Friday sale suggestion would be to buy a full price indie game.

Not taking on any more freelance work until new year now, folks!

My day job is ramping up a bit of late and I'd like to spend some time with family and friends (but also recover from this horrendous burnout...).

Will be back on the market in Jan though!

Yume Nikki PS1.
Demo out NOW!
It contains two dream worlds to explore.

You can run it on a real PlayStation 1.

This is a fan game. I put a lot of love and care into it.
I hope you enjoy it.

So I am running the London Lea Valley 50km in March and trying to raise some money for Step Forward - a youth centre in Tower Hamlets, Kiddo attends their LGBTQIA+ group and it's been such a brilliant and supportive space for them, which feels so important when trans youth are under constant attack.

We’ve had a massive year (proper roundup incoming) with two books published, conference panels and speeches, individual outreach, book launches, a new website, our first small grants scheme, and more!

So trust us when we say we’re putting it to good use!

If you fancy kicking some of that Black Friday money our way we’d be super grateful!

You won’t get anything in return but a nice feeling and the knowledge that you’re helping kids all across the UK to learn about the ancient world.

We’re 80% of the way to our year target

If you didn't catch todays Daily Service, you can still join me for it on BBC Sounds. In today's episode I share a poem, and a story from my pilgrimage, reflecting on the kindness and generosity of strangers, in a more meditative episode than usual.

Trying to carve out some time to actually play games not just write about them (even if it often from 11pm onwards) which means I can finally catch up on the hype around Blue Prince and OFF.

Gotten a few heartfelt e-mails from developers lately asking me to check out their game, including a key in the e-mail... and then I check the Steam page and find this kind of AI disclosure. Makes me question if the e-mail I thought was heartfelt was even written by the dev. Truly toxic to your game
i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

If you like adventure games, folk horror, and archaeology, well, you've probably already played this. But if you haven't, you should! #archaeology
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is currently 50% off on GOG!

A bargain opportunity to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

Jesus, this thread
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
